>> i think it was a man-made lab leak. thy china unlike the united

states never imposed travel restrictions and i think that is how they wonderful place up weaponnizing covid. biden has done nothing. >> millions dead around the globe and we don't seem to have an administration curious on how it happened or they know and don't care to share. >> branch out and broadly diversified stocks that paid dividends and health investors and we look at bonds and fed blinks or administration, we have a first row seat. >> the market down this year with a negative or bearish bias, and it's really hard being an equity investor. stuart: hello, everyone, it's 11:00 eastern time. tuesday, february 28 and just the last day of the month.

let's check the markets. we still have a kind of split thing going on here. dow's down 120, nasdaq is up 13. not that much price movement today. how about big tech and we like to quote it and that's where the money is. we have meta on the upside and alphabet slightly higher and amazon, meta and microsoft all down. mike murphy is with me now and joins me now as the market watcher of the day. looks like a go nowhere stock market and how can i make money? >> i can. stuart: you can? let's do it. >> here's the thing, you don't just invest and the market goes up, you make money on that return and sell it and go home. it doesn't work that way, stuart. it's a longer term game. right now you should be doing the exact same thing you were doing last year and the thing you were doing two years ago. you should be looking for

opportunities to invest in growth. depending on your time horizon, you should be looking to allocate money and the fact that the market is slightly up for the year and down from last year, that doesn't mean you wait till the market is at an all-time high and invest and right now is the exact time to be investing. stuart: is that called dollar cost averaging? put the same amount of money in every year -- in given periods into the stock market? >> exactly. stuart: that's a good thing? >> that's the only thing that's foolproof. it's never not worked in history. stuart: what about the people of my age, you know, 70s. it's still good for them? >> if you want your money to grow, there's the alternative of higher yields and if that's being there and you'll see a better return of investigating in the markets of s&p and next one, three, five year period.

stuart: good time frame. >> pick a spot and get better returns and we're going through a flat period and handle that and money invested in equities. stuart: are you still looking for a soft landing for the economy? stuart: absolutely. i think the downside that we have right now is that the economy is too strong for the fed's liking and i don't see that changing and the fed will have to come to grips towards that. stuart: back to you in a couple minutes. now this. we have our own return to work indicator, it's the view from our studio looking out over midtown manhattan. limited traffic, fewer people on the street, work from home is alive and well. jll is a global property manager and they tell us offices in america are just 40-60% full

depending on which city and which month. look at this. offices in europe are 70-90% full and in asia, it's 80- 110% full. some asian offices have more people working now than they did before the pandemic. the bottom line here is that europeans and asians are not that keen on working from home. while americans often have larger homes and make homework attractive, more attractive and working from home gets americans out of a long commute and away from crime. in europe and asia, commutes are not so long and translate more available and possible. it's not focusing on violent crime? who loses in all of this? american cities. the people are just not here. restaurants, bars, stores, they're not doing well. tax revenue way down. you look out that window and you can't tell me that half of these empty offices are good for

american cities. there's however a winner there but it's the remote worker. freed from the commute and the time wasted sitting in traffic and you freed from expensive day care. that pandemic really did a number on big city offices in america. in europe and asia, not so much. mike murphy still glut dna tieback for punishment is with me. >> we moved outside of the city and we're in long island, 14 miles outside of the city. we commute into the city monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday and friday. stuart: from what you see, do you think new york city, let's address that, do you think it'll ever come back to the way it was before the pandemic? >> yes, and really remember 2008 and i said to myself at the time, if i ever get a opportunity to invest in new york city, i'm going to do it because when the city looks like it's down for the count, it's always recovered. every single time.

thing haves changed and a lot have to do with woke holoticks in my opinion and -- politics and in my opinion workers and corpocorporations and big tech n people are at home in their pajamas, they're not as productive with workers and calling back 50% staffers for the big companies and they'll want people they're paying big bucks touchdown pass be in an office setting and don't bet against the new york city office marketplace. stuart: at this point i would bet against it. i don't think it'll come back, the offices around here. >> you can bet against it, short a commercial real estate company. stuart: think the every day investor like heist is shorting companies? am i an investor or something? >> there's different types of workeers and people will be in the offices and my building is almost 100% occupied. stuart: they're turn the office buildings into apartment buildings, some of them at least because that'll bring people back in the city. we'll agree to differ.

>> then they need a place to work. stuart: i was supposed to do an interview many, many years ago and talking about eastman kodak and i said to the guest, i said, are you going to short eastman kodak and he said what are you, a communist? those are the days. thank you, mike. stay there, please. for years the media insisted that covid did not come from the wuhan lab. roll it. >> the conspiracy theory going around that the coronavirus originated and was perhaps manmade inside a lab in china. >> ignore the dog whistle from the president and let science prevail. >> the theory that it was released from the lab in wuhan, his new angle. >> scientists and intelligence committee agree this coronavirus was not manmade and it's not a possibly. >> many of us feel that it is more likely that this is a natural occurrence as happened with sars and covi-1 going from

animal to human. stuart: that's laughable and the claims didn't age well. will we hear apologies from the people that appeared on the montage? >> no, they'll never apologize or the front page stories and the buzz word coming out with it and it's a consensus and the way i read that and interpret that and that means the politicos and the puppeteers in the white house and the ones purely based on politics and don't want to admit they were wrong and at the beginning of this, why didn't we say we don't know what it is. it could be a wet market in china and a lab leak and manmade you had a president of the united states in joe biden that

never challenged and asked china about this. then shut down with social media and others and stanford and administer varicose veined and others and not allowed to question and put this out there. rand paul was questioning dr. fauci and immediately shut down and denied that they even funded some of this type of gain of function research and now we look back and looks different and it's self-critical and we need to look at this and figure it out and people pomoxus pomoxused it and radical wing nuts shut them down. why do we listen to those people anymore? stuart: how should biden respond to china? what do you think? like 9/11-style commission? >> we should get up in his grill and say maybe every single one of the chinese nationals taking advantage of the education system and we're going to revoke every single one of thornhill tore their visas and they're

going home and get can dade with the -- candid with the united states of america and until we take a tough stance and educating the chinese and continuing to do this when you poisoned the world. explain to us, open up those doors and give us that communication and stop stealing our intellectual property and stop spying on america and stop sending these balloons over the con triple-demic. stop doing all of that and then the united states of america will work with you. until then, joe biden is not like that. he's feeble. he's going to let them walk all over us. stuart: you're a tough guy, jason chaffetz. >> i'm a little worked up on this. stuart: i can tell. fine input obstr on the show. thank you very much, sir. lauren is with and yous looking at movers and meta is moving. lauren: yeah, up 3.5% and plan to build an a team focused on artificial intelligence and top level employees in the special group that will help meta advance in the big tech ai race.

it could help meta because think about it. three quarters in a row sales fall, sales fall, sales fall. you can use artificial intelligence to boost engagement on instagram, what's app or whatever. stuart: used to be a tv series called the a team before your time and was good in the day. then we have zoom that was way up this morning and it was before the market opened and it is now. you're up 3%. lauren: forecasting a higher profit market for the year. stuart: say ai and up goes the stock. >> ai and up goes the stock. it's interesting and companies like meta and zoom less so and help them grow their bottom line and if they can get it right, it most certainly can. stuart: one more time and cruise lines in the news and it's done. lauren: they're going to be profitable this year and they say for the first time since covid but this quarter, stocks

down. you're saying, what? stock's down 12% and executives say this quarter is expected to be highest cost quarter ever. high fuel, food prices and i mean, you go on a cruise to eat and gain five pounds and that always happens every time you take a cruise. also labor costs and they've managed all of that but they haven't seen the fruits of their labor yet it. is the highest cost quarter for them. it's amazing. stuart: mike, i would never invest in a cruise line or airline. >> you're a smart line. i couldn't either. if they had ai maybe they'd be doing better. stuart: there you go, ai, norwegian cruise line. voters in chicago casting votes for mayor and jail guards are pressuring inmates into illegally casting their ballots. what a story. a sitcom actor says his liberal politics made him an outcast in hollywood. why? i don't understand that. you usually only hear that from conservatives and we'll get into

hi, i'm katie, i've lost 110 pounds on golo in just over a year. i was a diet soda addict, and i needed to have a diet soda every morning as my eye-opener. with the release, the cravings are gone. golo worked for me when i thought nothing would work for me. the first few weeks were really astonishing how quickly and how easily it came off, how much better i felt, what a change it made so fast. i feel like anything is possible after accomplishing what i've done with golo. stuart: board ore patrol pulled over a vehicle and found it carrying more than 230 pounds of

fentanyl, enough to kill 50 million people. bill melugin is with us. take us through the scene. >> yeah, this is one of the biggest bust withs agents here in southern california seizing enough of the opioid to wipe out much of the west coast of the unit. happened in san diego where agents seized 232 pounds of fentanyl all hidden in a smuggler's vehicle and border patrol says that's now have lethal doses to potentially kill 50 million people. three smugglers arrested and had street value of estimated $3 million. multiple border patrol sources tell me the bus took place during a traffic stop on the highway in the san clemente area of orange county and 75 miles inland from the southern border with mexico highlighting the fact that fentanyl made it into the u.s. and seized between ports of entry. gop congressman young kim that

represents part of orange county reacted tweeting "today enough fentanyl to kill off of california and more was found in orange county. this crisis puts lives in danger. the biden administration must get serious about the border". this was the third major fentanyl bust made between ports of industry in the last two weeks alone. in the remote desert east of nogales, arizona, they carried 24 pounds of fentanyl crossing into the u.s. illegally. earlier this month, take a look at this, border patrol agents in yuma, arizona, sector seized 93 pounds of fentanyl a smuggler had in a bag after entering the u.s. illegally. stuart, in just the last four months alone, border patrol has seized at least 800 pounds of fentanyl in between ports of industry. they -- entry. that's enough fentanyl to kill potentially 850 million people. stuart: that's shocking.

bill melugin, thank you, sir. congressman pat fallon joining me now. the president is battling an unpress dented crisis at the border and your committee wants to speak with top border patrol agents and what do you want to hear? >> we want to hear the truth and no spend. the american people deserve it and that's what our jobs are and not a crisis being from texas and border state and 350,000-mile border with texas and there's only so much the custom and border patrol agents can do and we need to support them and a novel concept, enforce the laws that are on the books. stuart: when you say collapse, spell that out for me. what does that mean, everybody pours in goes anywhere they want? >> yeah, stuart, border patrol will tell you, they can handle about 5,000 immigrants a day, migrant as day. that's it. we're seeing days where there's 12,000. what happens then is there's 6

or 7,000 folks that aren't encountered and they're called known got aways where they see them and don't have the capacity to do anything about it. that's literally a collapse and de-factor open border. stuart: as your committee -- has your committee subpoenaed the border patrol officers, you're going to get in front of them? >> we'll use subpoena power as a la tech resort and some border patrol chiefs come on and we want to have six or seven more because we want those different perspectives because by the way, stuart, not every sector of the border is the same. some are experiencing collapse and we need a full breath of what's going on. stuart: republicans demanding more oversight on how the money is being spent and where the republicans are going. you're a republican, are the republicans re-buck dna tieback to give ukraine what it needs to push russian troops out of

territory they've occupied? >> stuart, that's a great question and bottom line is it's an extreme position to do nothing. to not help you crane and let russia take it. it's the fourth -- country with the fourth most natural resources in the world and also an extreme position to give them more and vladamir putin didn't do anything and he invaded and took two provinces in georgia under george w. bush and took ukraine under obama and i'm sorry -- crimea under obama, and then lost full scale invasion under biden and deterrents work and save lives. stuart: thank you, pat fallon from texas. >> thank you, god bless. stuart: actor greg begly jr. claims environmental activism negatively affected his career. ashley, tell me more about this.

back to the market. susan: given that goldman sacks and shocking and almost 40 billion and it was reversed and how competitive it is on wall street and bragging rights involved and goldman under performs peers for the past few years and it's the big bets on consumer banking that's cost more than it's added to the bottom line. think about the markets division that issues the apple card and some ate ill advised $2 billion acquisition of green sky handing out consumer loans of home improvements and healthcare and that consumer division shocking numbers and lost $4 billion over the past three years.
